Latio not as good as mention.....

[MadMatty]

u bought a wife ah... sounds like u lost a lot at the dinner... lol...

honestly you won't know how much a wife will cost till the date you divorce....heehee

[LatioR]

Actually went to ubi TCM...cos my gearbox got some funny grinding sound when I slow down..wonder y also..happenned twice n when the mechanic go rd test with me..basket..it become ok again..anyway...back tp topic...the mechanic also told me...SURE can get min 14km/l one..if they hook up the meters to do the FC test..CVT can get 16. No matter how u go argue with them, end of the day, nothing much TCM can do for ur FC...just suck thumb n live with it..

Hi keromond, maybe u should challenge them to go a drive with u (after top up petrol to full) and to round for 3 hours and to top u petrol again to gauge...If the FC still as bad, F*** them...If the FC is realy >14km/l (with them around)..maybe u should compensate them for the 3 hrs drive...hahaha

[clarence]

... and get them to pay for your petrol. They have lots of SPC petrol vouchers on hand, left over from the "Get a S$10 SPC Petrol Voucher for Every Test Drive" promotion.

Hi.. Keromond.. maybe you should learn from the master.. how to drive with good FC? 

[fri13th]

Hi everyone! I will be trying for 400km mark at half tank as the milege now is really looking good haha i like the kick of smashing my own fc again and again May the force be with me

[LatioR]

hi fri13th, u worked in Tan Chong ah? Sound like u r promoting latio car leh? Can't believe the meter except u keep on pumping the petrol after certain milleage (just a jokes)! My current tank at about the same mark, only at 70km distance travel (my best FC is ~13km/l in sg and as in NSHW, believed can achievce somewhere around 16 ~17km/l), my car model, premium, yr 2005, all stock. In sg, abt 60%HW and 40%housing area (hardly enter to city, but every weekends sure go to JB to top up petrol, dinning + shopping there)

Haha i am totally unrelated to tan chong in any way...and my wife used to work in borneo motors as a service engineer funny right? we could get really good deals if we buy toyota cos she got many friends in there but after we test drove the latio we knew which was the better car for our family as comfort was our piority and now with the good fc it was really a surprise and bonus to us last month i went to bukit timah to service my car and saw the SC she ask me how was my car fc and told her around 16-17km/litre and still improving she almost fell off her chair she wanted to take video of my testimonial to show her coustomer in order to sell more car but i decline her....i also like to go JB once a while to stock up grocery,baby milk powder eat and pump petrol next time we can get a few more bros here and convoy there

[LatioR]

hi bro fri13th, u still keep yr tyre pressure at 270 and 250? I do observed a bit of FC improved when 1 increased from 210 for both front and rear tyres to 240 and 220 now. Ok to convoy to JB, mb Jusco is the gd location then..Thanks.

[fri13th]

Yes its still 270 and 250 for my tyre pressure i think its 1 of the factors which i am able to get good FC Jusco is good place to go with family as my kid loves the rides and games at level 3 everything under 1 roof most important is my family feel safe there to shop and eat in peace

[LatioR]

Thanks bro, will see if i dare to pump to 270 and 250  ... Thanks

[HumbleCar]

Not comfortable with such high pressure.  Safety may be compromised.  (Just my personal opinion.)

[clarence]

Such high presure of 250 and 270 KPa is way too dangerous as your car's tyres has minimal contact with the rd and you risk more wear on the ctr of your tyre thread.

Max 230KPa is safer.

may I know your tyre profile?

Your FC is so unreal.. I would get about 70~80 km for that needle position. I normally get about 11.5km/L after I top up.. Yours is 2.5 times mine, that means you getting 11.5*2.5=28.75 km/L

The only time I got close to that level was 150 km at that first 1/4 mark, coz I was on the NSHW.

really? have you ever heard of too low pressure, the whole tyre came off the rim?

230kpa max is too low if you pump on a very hot afternoon just after you drove about 20km. why? hot air.

if you bother checking after you pump when the tires are cold, they are probably about 200kpa

[LatioR]

will try to increase the tyre pressure while in Sg and will reduce to 240 and 220 when going to malaysia...

errh.. can u explain y the whole tyre will come off the rim? 

over inflation can be risky as pressure inside the tyres will expand during travel. the hot air will cause quite substantial pressure build up. if u are travelling long distances, e.g. to msia, do not overinflate the tires.

[fri13th]

Wah soo many kia si ppl around FYI 230 and 210 tyre pressure is only a recommended guide by nissan lar pump a bit higher wont make ur tyre burst 1....the most is a harsher ride only so far my tyres still the outer side wear more than the center part leh...maximum cold pressure is 300kpa for our stock toyo tyres soo we should be ok when we pump below that
BTW to each his own if u all dun fell good just stick to the recommended pressure lor...and i can continue to come here and post my FC to terrorise u all

errhh... bro, I am not offended but i tink u shouldn't label those who don't onverinflate their tyres as kiasi rite? some of us here are juz more concerned abt the safety rather than FC. And we are all learning and sharing info here coz we have doubts.  i tink u won't like it if others call u kiasu bcoz u try every ways & means to achieve good FC rite?

u are rite in saying overinflating abit is alrite. but even though the max pressure for toyo is 300, it doesn't mean there will be no risks when its inflated to that level. main thing is to strike a balance.

anyway my tire pressure is 245 front and 230 back. overinflate oso coz i dun drive long distances. 

[clarence]

fri13th,

The savings in fuel consumption is not worth the risk of a lack of grip due to your overinflated tyres.

You not only subject your family's lives to great risk, but other road users' too.

270KPa is on the high side even for a full load of 5.
